Carioca Circuit – Rio, Ilhabela & Buenos Aires

From $1,629 per person

About this cruise

This one leaves Rio de Janeiro on February 14, 2027 and spends 9 nights visiting Ilhabela, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Balneario Camboriu and Ilha Grande at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 5 port days and 3 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Serena: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.

Where to book

View on official site

Each Costa Cruises site only sells to people living in the region it serves. Agencies sell across markets, so this fare is often still bookable through one. See who sells it

We added Costa Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. Costa Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
